Nice to even the head-to-head with OU. Carry on Tigers.

So much to consider in hypotheticals. Does it affect the psyche of hitters if they feel like the pitching will keep them in the game, and they do not have to carry the team every night? Are the pitchers more relaxed if they feel like the defense will handle any batted balls put into play, therefore less prone to throw wild pitches, hit batters, etc.?


Don't overthink it.
Probably about as far as the '22 team got, i.e., not out of a regional. Maybe to a super. Gonna be close.

In fact, it may have been johnsons best coaching job offensively. I dont believe another team could put 4 freshmen in their lineup midseason and perform that well in the sec


Lot of truth in this.

Has anyone pointed out the fact that Paul wasn't fired? Or that Paul's first 5 years were virtually identical to Jay's, except for Jay having 2 NCs and Paul not making a regional twice in his first 5.


That CPM was almost uniformly despised his last few seasons here, and has now re-entered the comparison to CJJ discussion, ought to tell us how bad Jay botched this season.

FTR, CPM missed the field in his first season ('07 - I doubt many of his most ardent despisers hold that against him) and in '11 when we went 13-17 in the SEC. That was our SEC record in '24 when we did make it.

What I was told . . .

Take a single pine straw and lay it across (perpendicular to) the watermelon's main axis. If the pine straw rotates and aligns with the watermelons main axis, it's a ripe watermelon.

Have no test data to validate the method.

Just a legally sanctioned traitor.

Many Americans died to ostensibly free the UK from Hitler only to see it handed over to Muslims and destroyed. We have every right to criticize the happenings there.

Question: if CPM returned to LSU next season, would the program/roster be better than what CPM left JJ after '21?

JJ didn't inherit much in the way of arms, but he did get an almost complete plug-n-play position team.

This probably should've been.


I agree.

There was no reason as of say March 1st, to think our pitching would be bad.

So now we have to ssk why it became what it did.

Probably another bad record, but we've given up double-digit runs in our last six games. Has that ever happened before?

It's like a disaster area. You walk around and can't believe what you're seeing.

he missed the tourney twice and possibly a 3rd but was saved by covid.


One of the misses was his first year ('07). The other 2011. We were 13-17 in the SEC. Same as in '24 when we did make it.

Pt being, if you gonna apply 'bareley's', they need to be applied consistently.

percentages...40% of his years CJJ wins in Omaha.


This isn't a level playing field since Skip started from the ground up. OTOH, it's a different era now and more competitive.

But, FTR, from the time Skip won his first ('91) until he win his last (2000), he won 5 in 10 years.
AlwysATgr is all in to the end.

We still control our own destiny.
